What’s On My Hooks, No Needles Now

| 2 Comments

After finishing a knitting scarf kit recently, I have not cast on any other knitting yet. Though, I do plan on tackling a ribbed scarf again soon. I’m going back and forth on the size needles and yarn to use for that. My cross stitch is hibernating right now. However, I do have a few things on my hooks, two of which are fairly large projects though not necessarily difficult to do.

I’m probably about half way done with this ripple shawl. I’m loving the jewel tones of the yarn. I normally work on this a little in the evenings if there is enough light. Hubby likes to watch TV in a cave.



I should have this monster toy finished this weekend. It will then ship off with a frog and another monster next week if all goes as planned. The monster above is from a pattern by Stacey Trock called Mr. Toothy.



Finally, here is another shawl I’m working on using Chroma yarn fingering weight in a colorway called Fossil. The pattern is called the Windsor Lace Wrap, and it’s a free download on Ravelry. Once I finish this, I will probably put it in my office at school so I have something neutral colored but handy for the occasional AC getting too cold.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
